To Complete: The statement with correct term.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Friction is defined as the property that resists the sliding motion of two surfaces that are in contact with each other.
Friction is categorized as staticfriction, sliding friction and rolling friction.
Static friction: The kind of friction force that prevents the surface of two bodies from sliding each other is known as static friction.
Rolling friction: The kind of force that acts when a body rolls on a surface and opposes the motion of the body is known as rolling friction.
Sliding friction: A kind of frictionthat resists the sliding motion of surfaces of two bodies that are in contact with each other is known as sliding friction.
So, the correct term in the statement will be static friction.
Conclusion:
Static frictionopposes the sliding motion of two surfaces that are in contact.
